Topic: How to Make Friends as a Grown-up
Can you expect to make close friends once you're past your 30s?
Yes! Research shows we're replacing half our close friends every seven years, even into our 60s. It helps to know that the revolving door is a normal part of life.



"Best friends forever" ("BFF") is a phrase that describes a close friendship. Such friendships are characterized by intimacy, trust and a sense of permanence. (Wikipedia)
